I bought this item in the gray to serve as a small liquor cabinet as my small supply of booze was currently sitting in boxes after some recent renovations. It works perfectly. Key to me was that the shelf be movable and it was. That allows the shelf to be shifted for different height bottles. Other than that, the color is a creamy dark gray and it goes nicely against my walls (a tan color and my dark brown leather couch, that has some red tones in it). Easy to assemble and fairly study. Did not get four stars because its not entirely as study as I would like but it does the job well and is a very attractive piece of furniture.
